Telerivet’s mobile messaging platform now has a new feature – airtime transfer.

On over 450 mobile networks in more than 120 countries worldwide, Telerivet users can transfer airtime to help power their business operations, messaging services, community outreach, and marketing campaigns.

If you use the Telerivet Android app to send messages with a prepaid SIM card, you can easily top up your airtime directly from Telerivet, without needing to buy airtime vouchers from a local vendor.

Your business can easily offer airtime as a promotion or reward for loyal customers, or send airtime to your own employees, making communication expenses easily trackable and avoiding the need for cash payments or reimbursements.

When conducting a poll or survey via SMS, you can send airtime to your respondents to encourage participation and reimburse them for the cost of sending SMS. You could either send a small amount of airtime automatically to each participant, or randomly select a winner to receive a larger airtime topup.

Each of the 450+ mobile networks supported by Telerivet sells different airtime values to Telerivet at different price markups. For some mobile networks, the airtime topups are priced at or below “face value” on Telerivet, while other mobile networks sell airtime at a markup.

To check the availability and pricing for the mobile networks in your country, visit the airtime pricing page.

In addition to Telerivet’s “built-in” support for these mobile networks, Telerivet can also integrate other airtime transfer APIs into your Telerivet account upon request (such as Africa’s Talking in Kenya or Selcom Wireless in Tanzania), for an additional monthly fee (learn more) .
